Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
A stranger was seated next to a little 5th grade girl on the airplane
when the stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk.'
'I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation
with your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and
said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'
Oh, I don't know', said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?'
'OK'. she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you
a question first: 'A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass, the same
stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat
patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose
tha t is?'
The stranger thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'
To which the little girl replies: 'Do you really feel qualified to
discuss nuclear power when you don't know sh**?
